Starting from the world of martial arts in the Condor Heroes, practicing martial arts across the hea

After Jiangnan finished explaining the Qi and Blood system he created based on the martial arts in his previous life's novel "The Legend of the Dragon and the Snake," he paused, drank a cup of tea, and then took a break.

He looked at the people in front of him, giving them time to think and process what he had to say.

Little Dragon Girl was confused, but she felt that the two grandmasters' discussion broadened her horizons, gave her a systematic martial arts system, and pointed out the direction for the progress of martial arts.

Huang Rong was certain that her brother Nan would finally gain her father's approval this time. Thanks to her photographic memory, she had memorized their entire conversation. While somewhat surprised and excited by their discussion of martial arts systems, she wasn't particularly interested. She had never been particularly interested in martial arts, practicing only sporadically in the past. However, due to her exceptional intelligence and superior aptitude, her martial arts skills were already quite high. In the past year, she had learned some training methods from Nan Jiang that suited her personality, leading to rapid advancements in her martial arts. She only needed to further refine and deepen her internal energy to become a top-tier master in the world of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.

The simple-minded girl was munching on a sweet potato. Huang Rong had specially roasted it for her so she wouldn't disturb Jiang Nan and Huang Yaoshi's discussion. She couldn't understand what the two were saying; they were just mumbling amongst themselves, and now they were all silent! Seeing that no one else was talking and no one was paying attention to her, she happily huddled in the corner, continuing to munch on her roasted sweet potato, finding it incredibly delicious!

Jiang Nan looked around and exchanged a glance with the clever and mischievous Huang Rong. The two exchanged knowing glances, but he dared not do anything conspicuous in front of his father-in-law.

Huang Rong blinked, feeling a little shy under his gaze. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and the tips of her ears beneath her black hair turned red, making her look incredibly beautiful! However, even though Rong'er was shy, she dared to continue gazing tenderly at Jiang Nan without flinching, which almost made Jiang Nan feel embarrassed!

Jiang Nan couldn't easily dodge either; if he did, he would be at a disadvantage. He had no choice but to speak up to break the silence, change the subject, and divert attention.

"Actually, I have another cultivation system in mind!"

Huang Rong was exceptionally clever from a young age, and she was well aware that Jiang Nan was trying to distract her. However, she didn't expose him; instead, she found her "Brother Nan" even more interesting!

Huang Rong looked at Jiangnan with a smile, just like a kitten that had stolen some cream, cute and lively!

Although Huang Yaoshi was contemplating the Qi and Blood system proposed by Jiangnan, a portion of his attention was also on his daughter, Huang Rong, so he naturally noticed their interaction. However, Huang Yaoshi remained silent, only recalling sweet memories of his youth, when he and his wife Feng Heng traveled through mountains and rivers...

Jiang Nan continued, "This system also cultivates the physical body, but it is even purer than the Qi and Blood system."

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

"This system only tempers the physical body, dividing it into skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow, blood, and filth, tempering each part separately, progressing layer by layer, and finally combining them into one."

"However, precisely because it is too pure, it is difficult to even begin to cultivate."

"So, for now, this is still just a theoretical concept."

..............................

Huang Yaoshi neither commented on his thoughts nor exposed his ulterior motives. Instead, he helped him divert his attention and discussed the world's most outstanding martial arts techniques with him.

He began by discussing his own unique martial arts skills.

When discussing his own martial arts, Huang Yaoshi remained humble and composed, frankly stating, "All of my martial arts are self-created, but the most comfortable and effective technique is the Finger Flicking Divine Skill."

This skill is not limited by weapons or techniques; one can create weapons from stones, flowers, or grass. It condenses the body's true energy into the fingertips, compresses it to the extreme, and then releases it instantly, creating maximum destructive power with minimal effort.

It possesses the power to shatter armor and bones, and kill from a distance; yet it can also deflect force, neutralize attacks, and release pressure points—making it the most sophisticated and skillful martial art in the world today.

As Huang Yaoshi spoke, he demonstrated his finger-flicking technique. With a flick of his wrist, he pinched a peanut between his fingertips and flicked his finger, snapping a tree branch ten feet away and sending it crashing to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Jiangnan wholeheartedly agreed and clapped his hands in praise, saying, "Island Master Huang's Finger Flicking Skill is truly worthy of its reputation. The essence of this skill lies in the four words 'skill, speed, accuracy, and change.' It does not engage in brute force with the opponent, but rather focuses on exploiting weaknesses in strength, gaps in techniques, and areas where true energy is weak."

The Northern Beggar's Dragon Subduing Palm relies on brute force, while your Finger Flicking Skill uses skill to overcome brute force. Under equal internal energy levels, the Finger Flicking Skill's utilization of internal energy, precision of its strikes, and versatility in its hidden weapons are unparalleled. Its only drawback is the lack of a wide-range attack method; it's unmatched in one-on-one combat, but slightly less effective in group battles.

Huang Yaoshi smiled and acquiesced. In any case, he still had the Azure Sea Tide Song as a powerful weapon for group battles, as well as close combat skills such as the Jade Flute Sword Technique, so he did not say anything more about the merits of his own martial arts.

Huang Yaoshi spoke again: "Among the Five Greats, besides myself, only Ouyang Feng is without a sect or school. And the foremost evil martial art in the world is Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance."

This skill is a fragment of a unique martial art that Brother Ouyang found in the Western Regions. After he studied and completed it, he followed the path of pure Yin and domineering power. When accumulating power, it is like an old frog lying on the ground, still and lifeless; when it explodes, it is like thunder exploding in the sky, fierce and unparalleled. The core of the Toad Skill is the ultimate accumulation of power, followed by an instantaneous explosion. When still, it conceals its energy and form, leaving no flaws; when in motion, it unleashes its full power, unstoppable. The longer the power is accumulated, the stronger the explosion. The explosive power of this skill is unparalleled in the world.

In close combat and forceful clashes, Toad Style Kung Fu has never lost to any other powerful external martial art in the world.

Huang Yaoshi commented casually: "The Toad Stance of the Western Poison is insidious and domineering, combining offense and defense. When it is charged up, it can protect the body from force and withstand the palm wind of a peerless master. When it is unleashed, it can break through the true qi defense in one blow and severely injure a first-class master."

However, its flaws are extremely obvious: the posture is ugly, the method is unorthodox, the charging time is too long, and the killing intent is too heavy. Those who practice this skill will be plagued by violence and prone to becoming stubborn and obsessive. The more they practice, the more isolated and ruthless they become, and they are extremely susceptible to going astray. Moreover, the moves are limited to a single technique: a sudden burst of power from a prone position. Those skilled in agility and finesse can maneuver, pull, and find openings to break through its defenses.

Jiang Nan nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "Could this Eastern Heretic be a descendant of the Carefree Sect? Why is he so particular about his appearance? But Toad Style Kung Fu is indeed ugly; given a choice, I wouldn't want to practice it either!"

"..."

Huang Yaoshi then spoke about the signature martial arts of the world's number one gang: "The Beggars' Clan has two unique skills that are famous throughout the world: the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog-Beating Staff Technique. One is forceful and the other skillful, one is brute force and the other is technique, and both are the signature martial arts of the Beggars' Clan."

Let's start with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Its inspiration comes from the *I Ching*, a classic text of Taoism and Confucianism. The core principle of this palm technique is "great skill without artifice," and "extreme strength giving rise to gentleness." It has no flashy moves, only exquisite techniques for channeling and applying force within simple forms, delivered with powerful inner energy and overwhelming force to crush opponents head-on. Forms like "Regretful Dragon Soaring to the Sky" and "Flying Dragon in the Sky" are fierce, majestic, and awe-inspiring, representing the most authentic and top-tier external palm techniques in the martial arts world.

Hong Qigong, the Beggar from the North, attained the principle of righteousness, and it was through this achievement that he became famous throughout the land.

Jiang Nan replied, "The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are fierce and domineering, yet majestic and righteous. They are the most suitable martial arts for battlefield battles, group fights to quell rebellions, and righteous confrontations. The stronger the enemy, the more composed it becomes, and its power increases exponentially in desperate situations. A hundred years ago, Chief Qiao's palm technique was incredibly powerful and fierce due to his boldness."

"Let's discuss the Dog-Beating Stick Technique again," Huang Yaoshi continued. "This is a closely guarded secret of the Beggars' Sect, exclusive to successive leaders, and is widely regarded as the number one stick technique in the world."

It is said that his moves are exquisite and ever-changing, with six techniques—entanglement, locking, sealing, lifting, sweeping, and tripping—interacting in harmony, specifically designed to counter all kinds of fists, feet, and weapons. He does not rely on brute force, but rather on skillful techniques to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, restrain their movements, and seal their moves, making his control of the field unparalleled in the world.

The Dragon Subduing Palm is primarily for killing, while the Dog-Beating Staff is mainly for controlling the battlefield. Both rely on the transformation of internal energy, complementing each other perfectly, truly embodying the thousand-year-old heritage of the Beggars' Sect.

Jiang Nan nodded repeatedly: "The Dog-Beating Stick Technique is exquisite and meticulous, with every step calculated to seal off the path of life and death. Ordinary first-rate masters would be completely restrained and unable to move when they encounter it. If it weren't for the strict inheritance and the fact that it could only be practiced by the gang leader, its reputation might not be inferior to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

When talking about the Beggars' Sect, one inevitably mentions Qiao Feng, the greatest warrior of all time. Jiangnan spoke with respect as he told Huang Yaoshi the story of Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect during the Northern Song Dynasty. He then commented on Qiao Feng's martial arts: "Everyone knows that Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm is invincible, but they don't know that he has cultivated the seemingly ordinary and common martial art of Taizu Long Fist to a godlike level."

Taizu Changquan was originally a basic military boxing style of the Song Dynasty, which could be learned by even common martial artists. It was simple, straightforward, and devoid of any mystery. However, in Qiao Feng's hands, a seemingly ordinary move contained profound martial arts principles. Without any unnecessary frills, the power was pure, the control was effortless, and the offense and defense were perfectly balanced. With the simplest moves, he could defeat all the world's most extraordinary martial arts.

This is the true essence of martial arts: techniques vary in skill, and so does internal strength. Ordinary martial arts, when practiced to their highest level, become unparalleled supernatural abilities.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes revealed a rare look of admiration: "Qiao Feng is a man of extraordinary martial talent. He can unleash the ultimate power of the Taizu Long Fist, a feat unparalleled in history. The core of his skill lies not in his fist, but in his pure internal energy, his subtle control of force, and his invincible mindset in battle. He uses his profound and refined skill to master rudimentary techniques, thus making him invincible in every battle."

The level of martial arts skill always depends on the level of the person performing it!

"Even more amazing is the Dragon-Capturing Skill, which has been lost to the Beggars' Sect," Jiang Nan said. "Legend has it that the Dragon-Capturing Skill can capture objects from a distance without touching them, and can seize force in mid-air. It may seem like a simple technique for controlling force from a distance, but it is actually the ultimate manifestation of subtle control over true qi."

More refined than ordinary long-range palm strikes, it doesn't pursue explosive damage, but focuses on controlling the opponent's weapon, posture, and force, manipulating and controlling them at will. It is said that when Qiao Feng unleashed this technique, he effortlessly gained the upper hand, appearing almost supernatural, demonstrating an extremely high level of martial arts skill.

"..."

After talking about the Beggars' Sect, Huang Yaoshi then spoke about Emperor Duan, the Southern Emperor, one of the Five Greats: "The One-Finger Divine Skill of the Dali Duan family is a family martial art passed down in Dali. It follows the pure Yang martial arts path, which is upright, peaceful, and righteous."

"The One-Finger Divine Skill centers on striking acupoints and severing meridians, condensing true energy at the fingertip. It does not seek brute force to break through defenses, but rather focuses on subtlety and clarity. At the first level, one can strike acupoints from a distance, seal qi and sever meridians, heal injuries and overcome calamities. It combines offense, defense, subduing enemies, and saving lives, making it the most precise martial art in the world for controlling true energy. Ordinary masters release their true energy in a chaotic and disorderly manner, but the One-Finger Divine Skill ensures that the true energy is not leaked at all, is concentrated at a single point, and reaches the ultimate level of subtlety, enough to easily suppress ninety percent of finger and palm techniques in the martial arts world."

Jiangnan smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's right. The One-Finger Divine Skill may seem gentle, but it is actually extremely difficult to cultivate. Its value lies in the three words 'stability, purity, and precision.' Generations of masters of the Dali Duan family have painstakingly cultivated it to achieve mastery. However, it has a fatal flaw: if one has not reached the first-grade level, one must use all of one's internal energy to cleanse one's meridians and transform one's body."

"Let's discuss the Ku Rong Zen Skill again," Jiang Nan continued. "This is the supreme Buddhist skill of Tianlong Temple in Dali, a Zen martial art practiced by Master Ku Rong a hundred years ago. Its core lies in the mutual generation of withering and flourishing, and the tranquility of body and mind, allowing true energy to be either withered and restrained, returning to nothingness, or to burst forth and be vast and unrestrained, breaking through enemies."

Those who cultivate this skill can achieve a state of being half-withered and half-flourishing, controlling their energy at will, transcending worldly honor and disgrace, possessing a profound and stable inner energy unparalleled in the world. Furthermore, they can use the Zen-like concept of withering and flourishing to dissolve malevolent energy and resist inner demons, thus establishing an extremely solid foundation for cultivation. However, this method requires in-depth study of Buddhist scriptures to achieve a state of returning to one's true nature.

Huang Yaoshi nodded slightly: "The Withered Glory Zen Skill, it turns out there is such a unique martial art."

Then, Jiangnan spoke in a low voice, revealing the Duan family's secret: "The Duan family's secret martial art is the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but it has now been lost."

This skill transcends ordinary fist and foot techniques, reaching the highest realm of invisible sword energy. It divides the true energy of the dantian into six major meridians, corresponding to six acupoints on both hands, transforming the true energy into invisible sword energy, incomparably sharp, capable of attacking from several meters away, defeating single enemies, and being invincible in group attacks. The only drawback: the threshold is extremely high, and the energy consumption is enormous. Only those with extraordinary talent and profound inner strength can master it; forcibly activating it easily leads to meridian rupture and depletion of qi.

One-Finger Divine Skill is the foundation of Six-Meridian Divine Sword.

A glint of light flashed in Huang Yaoshi's eyes, and he rarely showed such admiration: "The Six Meridians Divine Sword can be called the number one finger technique and the number one qi sword technique in the world."

"..."

Jiangnan said, "The Quanzhen School is now the orthodox Taoist school in the North. Among them, the Quanzhen Great Dao Song is the general outline of Quanzhen's basic internal cultivation. It cultivates pure Taoist true qi, which is gentle, long-lasting, balanced and peaceful. It nourishes qi, cultivates the body, and stabilizes the mind. It is the most reliable Taoist introductory method in the world today. It has a solid foundation, progresses step by step, and has no bias or violence."

Huang Yaoshi said, "The essence of Quanzhen martial arts lies in perseverance and persistence. It does not strive for temporary victory or defeat, but seeks only long-term improvement. Quanzhen disciples have a solid foundation and a calm mind, all of which stem from this practice."

"The peak internal energy of Quanzhen is an innate skill." Jiang Nan's tone became serious. "Wang Chongyang relied on this skill to suppress the Four Great Masters and win the first Mount Hua Sword Tournament, which shows its power."

The true energy of the Innate Skill is formless and intangible, nourishing silently and subtly. It can neutralize all the fierce and violent energy in the world, offering unparalleled protection and inexhaustible endurance. It is the top-tier internal energy cultivation method of the orthodox Xuanmen sect. After Wang Chongyang's passing, the Innate Skill ceased to exist, and the pinnacle of the Quanzhen School was lost.

"And the Big Dipper Formation is the number one combined attack formation in the world," Jiang Nan continued. "With seven people standing in positions, the seven stars move in unison, their breaths flow together, and their strengths unite. This allows the internal energy of the seven people to be integrated into one, layer upon layer, in a continuous cycle, endlessly regenerating."

Seven Quanzhen Taoist priests, third-rate combined, can defeat second-rate; second-rate combined, can shake first-rate; first-rate combined, can stop the absolute peak. This is the pinnacle of Taoist mastery in the art of formations.

Huang Yaoshi nodded slightly: "The Big Dipper Formation combines military battle formations with Taoist theories. In individual combat, none of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen are the best; but when combined, they can trap and fight the Four Great Masters of the World. The wonder of this formation is unparalleled in Taoism. However, this formation relies on the tacit understanding of the seven people. If one is missing, it will break, and it lacks flexibility and adaptability."
